Reason and Evolution (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163324424)

Reason and Evolution is a book written by George A. Zellers that explores the relationship between reason and evolution. The book delves into the question of whether reason is a product of evolution or if it is a separate entity that has developed independently. The author provides a thorough analysis of the different theories and perspectives on this subject, drawing on insights from philosophy, biology, and psychology.Zellers argues that reason is an evolutionary adaptation that has developed over time in response to the challenges faced by humans in their environment. He examines the role of reason in human cognition, language, and culture, and shows how it has helped humans to survive and thrive in a changing world.The book also explores the limitations of reason and the challenges that arise when trying to apply it to complex problems. Zellers discusses the role of intuition, emotion, and creativity in human thought and argues that these non-rational faculties play an important role in shaping our understanding of the world.Overall, Reason and Evolution is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between reason and evolution. It will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, biology, and psychology, and will challenge readers to rethink their assumptions about the nature of human cognition.1927. From the Introduction: It may be said, then, that the principal object of this volume is to examine some of the main hypothetical conjectures put forth by evolutionists in their arguments and discussions, to bring them under the scrutiny of sound reason, and compare some of them with undoubted facts. In this way the cause of truth will be advanced.
